They got relegated on the last day of the season, but managed to stay up regardless because they bought a wildcard. There was an open spot in the BBL because one of the promoted teams couldn´t get licensed due to not meeting some financial or infrastructual requirements.

Bis 2012 war der US-Amerikaner für das College-Team der University of Colorado aktiv. In vier Jahren an der CU stellte Dufault mit 136 Partien eine Bestmarke für Einsätze im Trikot der „Buffaloes“ (so der Spitzname des dortigen Basketballteams) auf. Der in North Dakota geborene Dufault schloss seine Collegelaufbahn mit einem Abschluss in Psychologie ab. Aus sportlicher Sicht will Dufault bei den Neckar RIESEN nun den nächsten Schritt machen.
Neckar RIESEN-Headcoach John Patrick freut sich über die Verpflichtung des 23-Jährigen: „Austin ist ein vielseitiger Spieler, der auf allen großen Positionen eingesetzt werden kann. Sein Ballhandling ist gut und auch charakterlich kommt er mit guten Referenzen zu uns“. In Ludwigsburg unterschreibt Dufault einen Vertrag für die Spielzeit 2013/2014.

Hey Jens,
I was poking around on that team site and looked at the schedule just to get a feel for the length of the season - I was surprised to see a match-up with FC Bayern Munchen. Wouldn't that be a BC Bayern Munchen in hoops? I was always under the impression that 'FC' was Football Club or Fussball Club - was I wrong?

Technically, you are correct. But then you have to consider that most sports teams here are multi sports clubs and don´t bother to change for the departments. The Greek clubs, Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, do it, but the big Spanish clubs also play basketball under the term FC Barcelona or Real Madrid CF.
